Making discoveries about the origin and features of rock and roll music, Year Four have been learning how to play the Hand Jive and Rock Around the Clock, looking specifically at a walking bass line, before performing a piece as a class.

How do we feel about Rock and Roll?

"It makes me feel happy!"

"it makes me want to dance!"

"I've never heard music like this before."

"I would have liked to have been alive then - to know that the war was over and to be able to dance and be happy."

Take a look at our hand jive. I think you will agree that it is harder than it sounds! However, we had great fun doing it. 

"The hardest part was doing it quick enough so that it was in time with the music!"
